Answer 1

Install & use the font, pretty simple: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/windows-10-missing-fonts

Answer 2

Hi @Shanvitha ,
SSRS fully supports True Type Fonts and has limited support for Open Type Fonts. Essentially, any Font that can be instantiated by the .Net System.Drawing.Font (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system) class is supported by SSRS.

On the development computer, you really must restart Visual Studio after installing the fonts so that Visual Studio can pick up the fonts. On the server, before restarting the Reporting Services server, SSRS will encounter problems selecting newly installed fonts. If you have never installed fonts before, you could get the installed fonts by going to Control Panel -> Fonts.

In fact, you could share custom fonts by exporting reports in pdf format. When some conditions are met, the fonts will be embedded in the PDF file. For font embedding, see this link: Font Embedding

At this point I want to remind you to restart the server after installing your font, because it's necessary.

Regard,
Joy
